This is what we are lead to believe from so many computer articles over
the past 2-4 years. All those tech reporters gotta be right? :)
I am so tired of the same old computer articles like:
"Linux will never make it on the desktop"
"Linux will rule th desktop"
"Linux replacing low-medium range servers"
yadda yadda yadda
The latest article that I read just this morning has Sun software chief
Jonathan Schwartz (with a title like that he must be right, eh?) stating
that "Free source is like a free puppy"
Someone please stop the analogies, the similies, the metaphors!!!
